Feeding Paper
The figure below represents the proper paper paths. The diagram on the left
shows the paper after it is inserted properly and taped to the take-up shaft. The
figure on the right shows the result after the dancer bars are inserted and an
origin is set with the Set Origin keypad button.
1. On the model 600Ae, slide each of the paper guide flanges toward the
outside ends of the take-up shaft to create enough room for the width of
the paper.
2. If the pinchwheels are lowered, raise them by pushing the pinchwheel
lever away from the machine.
3. Turn on the power to the plotter if it is not already on.

4. Pull a long leader of paper off of the paper roll and insert it through the
stand, behind the plotting head, over the rear top bar, and between the
platen and pinchwheels.
5. Temporarily lock the paper in place by pulling the pinchwheel lever
toward the machine to lower the pinchwheels. Refer to the figure below
for help with the proper paper path.
